		<description>Well, there is obviously a reason that they vote Republican. They believe in the philosophy of the Republicans more than they do of the Democrats, even though they are one of the special interests groups constantly pandered to by the Left. While I personally wouldn&#039;t vote Republican(or Democrat) this year, you have to respect their scruples.</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve never understood Log Cabin Republicans.
But to clearly to have &quot;drunk the Cool-Aid&quot; about McCain is beyond me.
Last week, we heard major Democrats talk about gay rights in speeches, I guarantee they won&#039;t be in this week&#039;s RNC rhetoric.  
This upsets me, as a gay man, especially since Palin is so vocally anti-gay rights.  It doesn&#039;t surprise me, but it does make me angry.
And yes, 12 of 17 is a quorum for voting, but 12 for + 2 against is 14.  Did the other 3 board members abstain?  You would think for something this visibly important, they would want their voices heard, one way or another.
Just my opinion.  Gay Republicans clearly are entitled to their opinion, also, I&#039;m just reacting to their statement.</description>

		<description>Wait a sec.  Did I read that right?  They owe him one?  McCain will engage in dialogue?  You&#039;ve got two, count &#039;em TWO, knuckleheads gonna knock you several seasons farther into the closet already.  Wait a minute.  I&#039;m sorry; that&#039;s inappropriate.  What I meant to say was that the Religious Rabid Right will ask you to rot in hell first.

Here&#039;s their motto.  This deserves a few more chuckles;

		<description>They are Republicans, so it&#039;s hardly surprising! You&#039;ll also find gun crime victims who are Republican, abortionists who are Republican, and poor people who are Republican. It happens all the time, I know far too many gay Conservatives over here in Britain... I am always amused when people are somehow shocked that others might seem to vote against themselves for what they perceive to be the greater good. 

I&#039;m not saying I agree with them, far from it. But it&#039;s all to do with perception, if someone (right or wrongly) perceives a greater benefit overall (say financially) in voting for one part over another they may will ignore those things that they disagree with in the parties manifesto.</description>
